Miles’s recent television credits include The Full Monty on Disney+, The Durrells, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? And Belgravia: The Next Chapter on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You. He’s made an award-winning radio series, he’s published a novel and he’s played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang – a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.

The Bacchae

24 Apr 2026 - 24 Apr 2026

An outcast god. A powerless king. A mother who kills her only son. Glasgow's acclaimed Company of Wolves present an earth-shattering solo retelling of the myth of Dionysos: an epic of rejection, vengeance and rebirth told through story, dance and ancient song. Written and performed by Ewan Downie, The Bacchae blurs the lines between binaries: human and animal, male and female, victim and perpetrator, and takes us on a transformative journey from repression and denial to renewal and release. A hymn of rebirth for our shattered selves.
Help! I Think I'm Turning Into Ivor Cutler
Many years ago, in Glasgow, Tim Dalling was bitten by a radioactive sparrow called Fremsley. He thought little of it at the time, but whilst drifting through the fog of late middle-age, it occurred to him that perhaps this was the reason he was ever-so-slowly turning into Ivor Cutler. While this could be seen by many as an improvement (Tim himself was an ardent fan of Mr Cutler, both as boy and man) there was the unfortunate side-effect of melancholy. Would Tim himself eventually disappear? Why not decide for yourself by coming to the show and seeing if you can spot this other fellow, Tim Dalling, through the wrinkled, bespectacled visage performing the songs, poetry and prose of Mr Ivor Cutler.

The Routes Quartet is a string quartet with a difference. Made up of traditional folk musicians, The Routes Quartet writes and performs a combination of contemporary compositions and innovative arrangements of traditional music. The ensemble bridges the gap between classical and folk music; exploring the vast textures, tones and intimate musical qualities which are characteristic of a string quartet, but with a folksy, rootsy accent. The quartet’s music is an exquisite blend of folk, classical and fiddle traditions, featuring evocative arrangements of folk tunes and stunning original compositions. The Routes Quartet is made up of the classic string quartet instrumentation of cello (Rufus Huggan), viola (Emma Tomlinson), and two fiddles (David Lombardi and Madeleine Stewart). Routes were formed out of the thriving Glasgow session scene and released their first album, Windrose in 2017. That year, Routes played a 24-date, sold-out tour across the UK and Ireland which led to a ‘Folk Band of the Year’ nomination in the BBC ALBA Scottish Traditional Music Awards 2017. Launching their second album, Arche (2023), to a sold out performance at Celtic Connections was very special to the band as it was where the entire process began.

Baby Mash-up, what on Earth are you doing?
Written by Sally Hobson Directed by Nicholas Bone Something’s wrong. Baby Mash-up knows there’s something adrift, but she can’t pin it down. The seams of time and space are splitting, and she wants to figure out what’s going on and - most importantly - how she ended up here. This is both Troubles-era Ireland and also really, really not; this is a field, a laundrette, an ocean, a bingo hall, and a night sky. This is a question about how we make sense of ourselves in a time when our private myths and stories no longer feel true, and how the ordinary can fuse with the extraordinary to reveal a new reality. And yes. There’ll be tap dancing. Naturally. Developed at Macrobert Arts Centre. Supported by Creative Scotland.
